Writing s390 channel device drivers¶
- Author
Cornelia Huck
Introduction¶
This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that drive s390 based channel attached I/O devices. This includes interfaces for interaction with the hardware and interfaces for interacting with the common driver core. Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common I/O layer.
The document assumes a familarity with the technical terms associated with the s390 channel I/O architecture. For a description of this architecture, please refer to the "z/Architecture: Principles of Operation", IBM publication no. SA22-7832.
While most I/O devices on a s390 system are typically driven through the channel I/O mechanism described here, there are various other methods (like the diag interface). These are out of the scope of this document.
The s390 common I/O layer also provides access to some devices that are not strictly considered I/O devices. They are considered here as well, although they are not the focus of this document.
Some additional information can also be found in the kernel source under S/390 driver model interfaces.
The css bus¶
The css bus contains the subchannels available on the system. They fall into several categories:
Standard I/O subchannels, for use by the system. They have a child device on the ccw bus and are described below.
I/O subchannels bound to the vfio-ccw driver. See vfio-ccw: the basic infrastructure.
Message subchannels. No Linux driver currently exists.
CHSC subchannels (at most one). The chsc subchannel driver can be used to send asynchronous chsc commands.
eADM subchannels. Used for talking to storage class memory.
The ccw bus¶
The ccw bus typically contains the majority of devices available to a s390 system. Named after the channel command word (ccw), the basic command structure used to address its devices, the ccw bus contains so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via I/O subchannels, visible on the css bus. A device driver for channel-attached devices, however, will never interact with the subchannel directly, but only via the I/O device on the ccw bus, the ccw device.
I/O functions for channel-attached devices¶
Some hardware structures have been translated into C structures for use by the common I/O layer and device drivers. For more information on the hardware structures represented here, please consult the Principles of Operation.

struct irb¶

Members
scsw

Description
The irb that is handed to the device driver when an interrupt occurs. For
solicited interrupts, the common I/O layer already performs checks whether
a field is valid; a field not being valid is always passed as 0
.
If a unit check occurred, ecw may contain sense data; this is retrieved
by the common I/O layer itself if the device doesn't support concurrent
sense (so that the device driver never needs to perform basic sense itself).
For unsolicited interrupts, the irb is passed as-is (expect for sense data,
if applicable).

struct ccw_dev_id {

Members
ssid
subchannel set id
devno

Description
This structure is not directly based on any hardware structure. The hardware identifies a device by its device number and its subchannel, which is in turn identified by its id. In order to get a unique identifier for ccw devices across subchannel sets, struct ccw_dev_id has been introduced.
-
int ccw_dev_id_is_equal(struct ccw_dev_id *dev_id1, struct ccw_dev_id *dev_id2)¶

u8 pathmask_to_pos(u8 mask)¶
find the position of the left-most bit in a pathmask
Parameters
u8 mask
pathmask with at least one bit set
ccw devices¶
Devices that want to initiate channel I/O need to attach to the ccw bus. Interaction with the driver core is done via the common I/O layer, which provides the abstractions of ccw devices and ccw device drivers.
The functions that initiate or terminate channel I/O all act upon a ccw device structure. Device drivers must not bypass those functions or strange side effects may happen.

-
struct cmbdata¶
channel measurement block data for user space
Definition:
struct cmbdata {
__u64 size;
__u64 elapsed_time;
__u64 ssch_rsch_count;
__u64 sample_count;
__u64 device_connect_time;
__u64 function_pending_time;
__u64 device_disconnect_time;
__u64 control_unit_queuing_time;
__u64 device_active_only_time;
__u64 device_busy_time;
__u64 initial_command_response_time;
};
Members
size
size of the stored data
elapsed_time
time since last sampling
ssch_rsch_count
number of ssch and rsch
sample_count
number of samples
device_connect_time
time of device connect
function_pending_time
time of function pending
device_disconnect_time
time of device disconnect

Description
All values are stored as 64 bit for simplicity, especially in 32 bit emulation mode. All time values are normalized to nanoseconds. Currently, two formats are known, which differ by the size of this structure, i.e. the last two members are only set when the extended channel measurement facility (first shipped in z990 machines) is activated. Potentially, more fields could be added, which would result in a new ioctl number.

The ccwgroup bus¶
The ccwgroup bus only contains artificial devices, created by the user. Many networking devices (e.g. qeth) are in fact composed of several ccw devices (like read, write and data channel for qeth). The ccwgroup bus provides a mechanism to create a meta-device which contains those ccw devices as slave devices and can be associated with the netdevice.
